[QUES] "Cannot read property 'experience' of null"

Game Dev Tycoon modding
#1

I’m new to javascript, and i have no idea what this means. I was trying to make a mod, but after i added research items, it started giving me this error when i loaded a savegame, even a new one.
“Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘experience’ of null”.
Here is my source.js: http://pastie.org/8568857

Looks like your not the only one.

#3

You get this error because in one of your research items you use
return LevelCalculator.getMissionLevel('Graphics') > 7

But Graphics isn’t a missionLevel. You should use Graphic instead.

Was there anything I missed Jengis?

var CryTek = {};
(function () {

/*  */

/* Platforms */

/* CryTek */
CryTek.addPlatform = function () {
	var icon = './mods/CryTekMod/Source/img/Arktose.png';

@Tyler_Moore Euhm… in the date and getETADescription you have 1/2/34 and 1/3/35 But you’re using it wrong. I assume your want the event to occur in year 35. But you need to put it in a different order: 34/2/1 and 35/2/1.

You are using week/month/year, but it should be year/month/week (little note for next time ;))

There were some syntax errors in your code, fixed it here:

Remember you file needs to start and end like this:

var CryTek = {};
(function () {

//code here

})();

Plus what Khan said :smile:
